Greetings pupil.
Shackle of ungratefulness is not a phrase I guess, at least not commonly used. My emotions were jumbled and I was having to face loads of remarks that hurt me way too deep. I am not the kind to cry over little remarks but it was painful. You work the entire day, give your every sweat, only to hear that you were worthless, someone else is better. No one ever alarmed you earlier of the clauses but once you are delaying you are worthless. Just like a rotten food. So, I named the title, "Shackles of ungratefulness". Even after hearing to all the scorning words, titles, phrases, I still choose to stand firm on my ground and call myself responsible. I continue to complete my duties, I continue to withstand all what they have to say. Can we not survive through all this?
Yes, it is me, who is studying hard for her degree, doing the chores at home non-stop. It is me who is buying the groceries and it is me who is sleeping for about 6 hours and waking up again to be continuously busy. Even after the hectic hours of daily chores, I am being accused of not managing food on time. I am hurt but maybe it is a part of the whole, maybe my dear ones are pairing their ungrateful unsaid thoughts and so, it is becoming shackle of ungratefulness of their stored burned emotions.
However, I am trying to be at ease. I am trying to take it all in and aiming to survive through these emotions. I have seen many posts that talk about painful memories and events. I do acknowledge them but I take it easily. That is a problem of mine, I accept things which are not to be accepted by all times. All of our life is in havoc but trying to survive and live with it or trying our best to overcome it all is ultimately a choice that we will have to make.
This life was never meant to be a bed of roses. I am aware of it, but at the end of the day, we are all left chained. Chained by our own emotions revolving around our close people. Life was never meant to be a bed of thorns either, so we must try to overcome our weakness that is apparent towards those who make multiple attempts to hurt us.
If you know someone's weakness, you should be proud that you are close to someone so much that they are caring to become vulnerable towards you. If you are the reason of someone's strength, you should be proud that you are close to someone so much that they identify their strength in you. These are not emotional-sensitive issues, these are issues which need attention. Perspectives matter a lot and ultimately, if we are unable to understand each others point of view, it will eventually be a rough-tough journey.
Shackle of ungratefulness is something that exists. It will hurt us, it might sometimes question our own existence by controlling our mind. Being human, this is the price we pay and this is also the power that we have to understand while accepting others opinions. It is we who can choose to be present or absent.
This is my twenty-third post in HIVE. I hope to connect well with everyone. This is me here, Lemonade1, I am a bookworm, meaning I love reading books more than anything. It is my first priority and also my last. Besides everything else, I love traveling and I aim to create my travel diary here.
